Coordinate Valley’s Operation Mr. Davi prides himself on being a loyal Valley fan. Dieticians Daisy Davis, Lois McVea, and Frances Crisp plan daily meals. Much of Valley's landscaping is a tribute to Mr. Davis' efforts. Most students rarely think of the hard work and the amount of time that must be spent by the maintenance and cafeteria staffs in order to prepare Shades Valley for each new day. Much of the credit belongs to Mr. Jeff Davis, who insures that the rooms and equipment will be in excellent condition for student use. Planning a meal for over 1,500 people is a monumental task, but the cafeteria staff does this five days a week. Their work is consistently marked by quality, cleanliness, and efficiency.
